{"product_id":"jodeci-forever-my-lady-35th-anniversary-edition-2lp","title":"Jodeci - Forever My Lady [35th Anniversary Edition]","description":"\u003cp\u003eReleased in May 1991 on Andre Harrell's Uptown Records, \u003cem\u003eForever My Lady\u003c\/em\u003e arrived at the exact moment new jack swing was hardening into something rougher and more sexual. Two sets of brothers out of Charlotte, K-Ci and JoJo Hailey up front and DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin handling the boards, made a debut that went triple platinum and rewrote what an R\u0026amp;B group was allowed to look and sound like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeVante produced nearly all of it, and his instincts were sharper than anyone gave him credit for at the time. \"Stay,\" \"Forever My Lady,\" and \"Come \u0026amp; Talk To Me\" all went to number one on the R\u0026amp;B chart, and K-Ci's lead vocal on the title track is still the reference point for church-trained soul singing pushed to the edge of collapse. \"Gotta Love\" and \"Play Thang\" bring the swing, while the interludes and skits give the record a loose, hanging-out quality that most of its contemporaries were too polished to attempt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSean Combs was the A\u0026amp;R on this, early in his run at Uptown, and the fingerprints of everything that came after are already here. Boyz II Men had the harmonies; Jodeci had the danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 35th anniversary 2LP adds five bonus tracks, including the hip hop version of \"Cherish,\" the Swing Mob radio mix of \"I'm Still Waiting,\" a previously unreleased a cappella \"Stay,\" and \"Forever My Lady\" live from MTV Unplugged.
